         1. I have  reviewed  this Annual  Report on Form 10-K of National  Home
Health Care Corp;

         2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  Annual  Report  does not  contain any
untrue  statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact  necessary
to make the  statements  made,  in light of the  circumstances  under which such
statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this

         4. The Registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
establishing and maintaining  disclosure  controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14) for the Registrant and we have:

         a) designed  such  disclosure  controls and  procedures  to ensure that
material  information  relating to the  Registrant,  including its  consolidated
subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities,  particularly
during the period in which this Annual Report is being prepared;

         b) evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's  disclosure controls
and  procedures  as of a date  within 90 days prior to the  filing  date of this
Annual Report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

effectiveness of the disclosure  controls and procedures based on our evaluation
as of the Evaluation Date;

         5. The  Registrant's  other  certifying  officers and I have disclosed,
based on our most recent evaluation,  to the Registrant's auditors and the audit
committee  of  Registrant's  board  of  directors  (or  persons  performing  the
equivalent function):

         a) all significant  deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
controls  which  could  adversely  affect  the  Registrant's  ability to record,
process,  summarize  and

report  financial  data and have  identified for the  Registrant's  auditors any
material weaknesses in internal controls; and

         b) any fraud,  whether or not  material,  that  involves  management or
other  employees  who  have a  significant  role  in the  Registrant's  internal
controls; and

         6. The Registrant's  other certifying  officers and I have indicated in
this Annual  Report  whether or not there were  significant  changes in internal
controls or in other factors that could  significantly  affect internal controls
subsequent to the date of our most recent  evaluation,  including any corrective
actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
